HDsep ard Earnest Opinions. =

| What most people call .deep aud
earnest convictions" on political and
social topics are generally muddle-
headed medleys Of knowledge of fact
and opinion. They know that such
and such q thing Is an evil, and they
opine that they see way to mend it,
and II wiser people point,out TO them
that the evil should not be SO amended,
or that greater evils would accrue from
the attempt. they only feel that their
convictions are affronted and opposed
by cold-hlooded calculations. This
kind of opinion is often as confident as
actual knowledge. When Charley said
that it was impossible to believe q lie,
he can only have meant that it was
impossible to believe itwith that high
est kind of gertrude which consists in
intellectual PERCEPTION. Probably m
one could believe a lie with that degree
of faith which would enable him to
suffer deliberate martyrdom for it
Protestant and Catholic martyrs have
usually been sufferers for one and the
same aith, or at least parts of the
me faith, in which parts they have
considered the whole to be involved.
Very few il any, have ever
carried the courage of mere
20 )inioIs" to the stake. There Can
be no absolute gertrude about the inn
pressions of the senses or the infer
ences drawn from them, there can b.
about moral and spiritual things. The
knave MAJ sincerely npine that it is
best for his Interests No lie and cheat,
but the honest man knows that he is a
being whose int rests are above all ex-
ternal contingencies, and that under
certain circumstances it would be mad
ness to behave otherwise than in a WAY
which would be directly opposed TO
every argument and persuasion Of the
senses. 1t is only the mind of the mos,

will have its confidence in knowledge

A Starring Record

In an article in The nineteenth en-
fury Mr. Gladstone says that the bis
tory of the union of Ireland with
England has never yet been rightly
written. ssNot only corruption he
says, shut fragrant intimidation and
savage repression were used to Obtain,
the union. CORVALLIS declared il
July, 1899. that the force in Ireland
sufiiced to preserve the peace, but not
to meet foreign invasion. What i

Mr.. Gladstone quoted Mulhall's ST.

has been censured by Mr.. Balfour, on
the part Of the Salisbury government.
Bat Mulhail himself reiterated with
even more startling distinctness tht
figures presented by him in his .sFir'

the number of farms in Ireland W IS re

down to 1886, proving that through
the Victorian reign 48D 600 families
representing ove- S,10o.000 OF popuia-
ton. have been uuroofed and driven
from the island. The. government r :
turns show that 1856 600 persons have

How the Girls in the Treasury Department
Enjoy Filtration.

Enjoy Filtration.
Some time ago the chief clerk of the
treasury department issued an order
prohibiting clerks from visiting and
promenadng the corridors during bust
ness hours. Prior to this regulation
the treasury girls spent considerable
tine in visiting each other and in walks
ing leisurely around the corridors with
favorlte masculine clerks, says ths
Philadelphia Ledger. For time the
new order effectually suppressed the
abuse aimed at, as all persons found
visiting and walking about idly We're
reported to the chief clerk.
The order still produces good re-
suits, yet many male and female clerks
with disposition for Irritation have
devised plan by which they can en-
JOY promenade OF q male iihout b.
ing elected by the minionss of til,
chief clerk. The treasury building
about 800 by 200 feet in dimensions
It is quadrangular in form, with ceh-
trail wing stretching from east to west
thus converting the building into ~
double quadrangle.
Two elevators, located in different
corners of the Building, convey al
corners from floor. to floor. The length
OF the corridors in each. story extendet
in straight line is a full quarter of
mile, and as there are four stories We
have full mile of corridors, forming
with their tiled floors, frescoed wall
and vaulted ceilings, a most charming
promenade. To be found lettering Oh
any particular floor is to insure re-
port and reprimand, and repetition Of
the offense brings admonition Of sus-
pense or discharge.
Some of the girls OF the treasury are
smart, as well as pretty, and have de-
vised plan by which they may join
each other and their beanx withoutfear
of the chief clerk and his seniinels.
Meeting at an appointed hour and
place, these couples will promenade
the entire length of the corridor Of one
floor. and then, taking separate ele-
vators SO as to avoid objection, will
proceed to the next floor, and leisurely
continue their "spooning'' while they
make the circuit Of its corridors. This
repeated until they have traversed the
corridors of the four floors. when each
will.repair TO his or her proper divis-
ion, using both elevators for this prir>

question as to which should be permit

and the discussion had left an indelli-

mind. Some days after, the family OF
